Stories of cultural interaction
Connect2us.eu hired me to realise various illustrations of cultural differences following their easy-to-read stories.
“During their resettlement migrants face numerous instances where cultural differences emerge. Normal, day-to-day situations mostly turn out to be pleasant encounters, but sometimes also startling or even mind boggling. The Connect2Us foundation helps people recognize, understand and accept cultural differences through storytelling”.
The easy-to-read stories illuminate what’s really going on when people of different cultural backgrounds interact in everyday situations. The illustrations help the reader to recognize these intercultural situations.
The purpose of my drawings is to define the key moment of the stories, and I’m very happy with the result. If you want to read the related story just click on the image (you will be redirected to the Connect2us.eu official english website). All the stories are available in English, French, Dutch and German too.
